The Verdict

When it comes to torture, military tribunals, overseas wars, the economy, health care, transparency in government, food policy, gay rights, the drug war, civil liberties, and everything else of major consequence the Obama administration has not acted in the people's interests. I can list the details but you already know them, and if you don't then read Glenn Greenwald, Arthur Silber, Chris Floyd, and other writers. I don't have the energy, capabilities or even the desire to go into describing and documenting all the wrong-headed and criminal deeds done by Obama in a mere four months. I will simply state the verdict, my ruling on the rulers and the ruled.

The verdict is in, ladies and gentleman of the jury: Mr. Obama is nothing more than a money-changer. A whorish president and a swine magnet. Pigs will fly and escape their horror-ish conditions before Obama presides over any meaningful policy shifts in the destined to crumble American empire. The country is done for if men like Obama continue to rise above more moral and fearless men. Washington D.C. can only be saved by Visionary men, Revolutionaries who lead lives outside the beltway. Capitol Hill is littered with compromisers, criminals, and crooked cheats. But Amerika reached the point of no return long before scum like Clinton, Bush, and Obama even made it to the scene. The president of the United States is not the most powerful position in the free world, far from it, and as long as that myth persists this death-dealing system will remain. The last real leader in the WH was Kennedy, and ever since he was assassinated only men with low opinion of the American people have become president. Down the line, from Johnson to Obama, republican and democrat, are all guilty. A monument should be dedicatd to these men with the oppoiste intent and spirit that Mount Rushmore was created. It shall be called Mount Rush, no more, and it shall be located in the Crawford Branch which will be turned into a psychiatric center. And the capstone of the monument will read: "We must all face the fact that our leaders are certifiably insane or worse,"(Burroughs).

But lets forget the leaders. It's the weeping&sleeping followers we have to cocentrate on, the hope worshipers who still have faith in this destructive system and its political class. The unmindful, unread, and unsuspecting slugs who tune into political matters every election season only to upstage each other's stupidity. These people can't clear their names when the ultimate judge presents them with the charges. Ignorance is a shallow grave, I have more respect for evil men like Cheney than ignorant men like Bush. And Obama is both evil and ignorant so I have zero respect for him. Followers of all three, present and past, cannot simply wash off their hands and pretend they never supported them. As Arthur Silber writes:
to continue to believe that Barack Obama represents any kind of "improvement" over the abomination of George W. Bush is not an innocent error. To persist in delusions of this kind requires that one intentionally and deliberately blind oneself to evidence that assaults us every day.
Samuel Johnson wrote:
As we ought not to give way to fear any more than indulgence to hope, because the objects both of fear and hope are yet uncertain, so we ought not to trust the representations of one more than of the other, because they are both equally fallacious.
The conclusion you should get from both of these gentlemen is that you haven't been sold a lie, you bought a lie, as Michael Tsarion likes to say. You own the receipt and you can't throw it out. On the final steps of the pearly gates the seven angels will call those who voted for Bush and Obama to step aside, and those who voted for Ron Paul, Cynthia McKinney, Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr and Ralph Nader to step forward. I'll nod my head knowing my God is just cause I sure as hell don't want to share heaven with the ignorant and gullible sickos who voted based on their fears and hopes.

I have to share the Earth with these downright morons? I'm starting to glance the world from the elite's perspective, and those bastards got a point. The popular opinion is that there are a few bad men and the rest are just scared but what if the opposite was true? What if the masses are a bad, immoral&degenerate bunch and the elite are just scared, hence their aggressiveness. The masses don't want to believe there are rogues in office? Fine, let them believe whatever they wish, but punishment is due for such cowardice in the face of the enemy. Beliefs have consequences, nobody in America is innocent. The whole country should be tried in court, but that's unlikely to happen so a trial by fire is what's in order. None shall forgive a nation of hypocrites and cowards that commits endless atrocities in far off places. A reckoning is due to such a hopeless land. May the Mexicans take back what they rightfully own. You want to be a nation of the gun? Want to export death to the rest of the world? Okay. But don't squeal when it's done to you. You've dropped bombs on innocent populations, burned their villages, stole their wealth and destroyed their property. Do you honestly think people forget such insane and criminal deeds? Do you believe in karma? Are you truly a Christian nation? Hiding behind the mask of your leaders is no longer acceptable. You've paid for the horror show. You showed no mercy and none will be shown to you.

Obama's supporters, just as Bush supporters, are not appeasers. A more correct term to describe them is appealers. They are appealing the verdict of their master and forestalling punishment, meanwhile, women and children in distant lands are paying the consequences with their lives. How can you appeal to such appealers? They will always plead to inaction.

My message to these appealers, after much deliberation is as follows: you cannot appeal God's laws. Mask and deceive? Ask and you shall receive. Color your horse white all you want but once the rain falls we'll all know what the true color is. You can try to appeal but you will fail, and there will be a final judgment for a nation who chooses to take such a course. If military tribunals are show trials than the court of public opinion are show-me trials. But they don't ask 'show-me the truth', instead, they ask 'show me the money.' 'Please keep me safe, fix my mortgage, and feed me, feeeed me' A nation of jabba the hutts. What a disgrace! Amerika is a dead country, if you ask me. "Only a humanity to whom death has become as indifferent as its members, that has itself died, can inflict it administratively on innumerable people." - Theodore Adorno.
